  "account": "Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 47-year-old Egyptian national, pleaded guilty in federal court on Thursday to nine counts of hate-crime offenses and three explosives charges following a firebomb attack on a pro-Israel rally in Colorado. Soliman, who has already been serving a life sentence for 107 state charges, including first-degree murder, admitted to tossing two Molotov cocktails at a crowd of around 30 people on June 1, 2025, who were protesting in Boulder in solidarity with hostages taken during the 2023 Hamas attack on Israeli villages. The attack resulted in the injury of 29 people, including one fatality, 82-year-old Karen Diamond, who later died from her injuries. Soliman claimed his motive was the perceived Jewish religion and Israeli national origin of the rally participants. His plea deal calls for a life sentence plus an additional 50 years in prison.",
